HELP! Need inspiration...

Please, please, pretty please can you guys share some pics or links of prim/country sewing rooms? I need some inspiration on how to do mine. I know the feeling I want, I just don't know how to obtain it. Hubby and the kids removed two of the massive shelving units and put them in the basement for me, so I have much more room now. We packed up all my wool and the majority of my fabric and will store it in the basement for the time being. I won't have time to rug hook or sew tons once the baby comes, so I'm just looking to cozy up and simplify my sewing room. Just a place to escape to for an hour or so a day and whip up little projects and have a quaint spot to sit for a bit. I want it to be homey and prim, but I don't know what colors to do. Should I stencil, should I paint? The trim work is all white(like the rest of the house), and it feels so cold. Also the one large bead board wall is white, so I'm thinking about leaving the walls the tan color they are and just painting the trim work and bead board. But what color? I really just need to see some good pics. Thank you for your help.

There's a wonderful book and website now too I think called "Where Women Create" it has tons of beautiful sewing/craft rooms. I can picture a simple room done in old fashioned sewing notions and ads. Many colors work well with tan, like a prim blue, red or sage green. What ever you choose, it will be perfect and I can't wait to see it!

Thanks ladies. I went to Ace this morning and bought two different colors of Old Village paints, a mustard and a blue. I'm currently painting the white beadboard wall the blue(which is called Heritage blue and is more of a gray blue, not sure about it yet, maybe I should have went with a darker one) and the mustard color will be going on the dresser that I just painted green a few posts ago. The colors in the room are going to be to be blue, red, and mustard(which is more of a light golden brown). At least I have a color scheme now :) I'll keep you updated.

But the green had looked so good on the dresser. Oh well that is the beauty of paint. I can't wait to see the room when finished. By the way, I have mentioned you in my end of year blogging recap. Please stop by to see. Thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of blogging. Happy New Year.

Welcome

I hope you find some fun and interesting things here. I'm always redecorating and rearranging my home, so there are always new pics to look at. I will also share crafts I make and thrift finds(love Goodwill and yardsales). My style for my home is slowly changing, from prim to more vintage farmhouse with a mix of eclectic accents. I just like too many eras, but I am trying to weed out the new stuff and eventually just have antiques and hand made stuff. Enjoy your stay and if you see something you want to PIN, go right ahead!

About Me

I'm a 41 yr young mom of 8 wonderful children, who loves to create, decorate, and search for antiques. I was an LPN for a very very short time before the kids but I've been a SAHM for the past 21yrs and married to my hubby for over 22yrs. I would love to live in a big old farmhouse one day, but for now, I'm happy making our house a happy home for us all to enjoy.

Award and Tag Free Blog

I find it really hard to choose people to tag and give awards too, because everyone deserves recognition and I know so many people find tags time consuming. So I'm just opting out of both. Thank you for your understanding.
